Earlier today, we wrote to the Clerk to @Parliament_Ug to ask for a minimum of one month to allow time for scrutiny and analysis of the UPDF (Amendment) Bill, 2025 for fairly adequate public consultations and engagement. A Bill this consequential must not be rushed. The Constitution of Uganda emphasizes the role, and guarantees the right, of citizens to individually participate in the affairs of government, including in law-making processes. This can only be achieved if the government ensures that citizens have sufficient time to review proposed laws and meaningfully engage in the public consultation processes. #HumanRights | #FairTrials | #Uganda

What amazes me is even the so-called elites cannot see this; to the extent that the very clear mandate of the Judiciary and that of Defence have been interwoven and marred under the guise of security!

Dear @AnitahAmong, what's the rush about the updf amendment bill intended to achieve? How can a committee of parliament expect stakeholders to analyse a 150-page document overnight and share their views the following morning?
